I have the Tutti Bambini crib too and my LG ends up in all kinds of weird positions, including face snuggled against the side. She pushes her feet against the crib to turn herself. It does scare me but I’d like to think they would make the cribs using breathable materials. All I can suggest is rolling a cellular blanket up against the side so your LO (little one) (little one) can’t get to the side? I use cellular blankets in general just in case she gets it over her face when she moves during the night.

I have the Tutti Bambini crib too and my LG ends up in all kinds of weird positions, including face snuggled against the side. She pushes her feet against the crib to turn herself.

Mines the same. She refuses to sleep on her back and will only sleep in the crib if she can bury her head in to the side. We asked the HV (Health Visitor) about it and she said it wasn't a concern but you could try rolling a cellular blanket and putting it either down that side or making a horse shoe shape under the sheet for her to settle in to. We tried this but she wouldn't tolerate it so back to the face burying for now - that is when she will allow me to put her in there rather than just sleep on my chest.

We have the same issue! He always ends up diagonally across the crib with his face really close to the low side. I just put him to sleep really close to the side further away from the bed so by the time we wake up for the next feed he hasn't wriggled too close to the bed 😕

Ive been thinking maybe the crib was slanted, I even flipped the mattress in case that was flatter at one side.

My LO (little one) was exactly the same and we have the tutti bambini! I slept with my hand between his face and the crib, but now we have a sleepyhead which I know is just as controversial 🙈 but he can’t roll in the sleepyhead and it’s 100% breathable so for us I decided it was the safest option. I think the cribs are quite big and the baby feels the need to be close to something and maybe drifts over to where they can hear mum.

PS not in anyway recommending a sleepyhead just stating that this is the decision we’ve made for us and our baby and the reason why - with or without every night I’m terrified putting him to bed 🙈

Our daughter is exactly the same, I try and shuffle her all the way over to the other side but when I wake up she is still always right back in the same spot face right into the side and she sleeps on the side, my OH (other half) tried to wedge a pair of my tweezers 🙄 into where you alter the height to ensure it was level... but obviously isn’t the reason 😂🤦‍♀️

Omg I thought it was only me! My son sleeps like this and I put him in a sleeping bag to sleep now so he has no blankets so a don’t have to worry about him sleeping as before he was moving the blankets around. How strange!
